no sound when text arrives on iphone 13

Received Apple watch se for Christmas, then bought an iphone13, when I get a text, then is no sound notification on phone. Is this related. Called Apple Care, they tried different things, now I also don't get a sound notification with texts on ipod mini 4 & ipod touch. Any solutions?

No sound on text messages being received when iphone screen is locked I'm running IOS 16.1 and I'm not hearing any sounds when a text message is received if my screen is locked. My connected apple watch is working fine. There are no messages (banners) coming to the locked screen either.

My iphone doesn't make a sound when I receive a text message HI, I have an iPhone 11 and an Apple watch 3. My iPhone does not make any sound when I receive a text message. I've gone through all of the checks I can find by googling and finally came across a temporary fix. This involved turning off bluetooth for Messages on my Apple watch to prevent the text message from going to the watch. According to the article I read, Apple is supposed to aware of this problem and is coming out with a fix but no one knows when. This is the only way I've found that will allow the text message to alarm on my iPhone. I say temporary fix as turning off bluetooth also turns off Find My which I tend to use a lot to find where I've put my phone. So I want to get that back to normal asap. If anyone else has any suggestions I'd love to try them. Thanks

iPhone not ringing when receiving texts, even with notifications on full volume My iPhone no longer rings when I receive a text. My sound is all the way up. Focus mode is not on. Do not disturb is not on. My phone is fully updated. Haptics are on. Notifications for messages are on. I have an Apple Watch which does receive notifications for texts, but this should not prevent my phone from ringing as well when a text comes through. Can I only be notified of texts through the phone OR the watch?

Hello 1jan,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about Notifications with your Apple Watch. We're happy to help.

Please verify this is working as described here: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below."

Thanks.
